Hello! I’m Katharine Hsu, founder of All the Write Colors.

​

Before starting All the Write Colors in 2022, I spent over 17 years in education as a classroom teacher (grades 2-8), instructional coach, technology coordinator, education consultant, and professional development facilitator. I hold a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction and am certified in K–8 English, math, ESL, and Gifted Education.

​

I loved working with students, but I became increasingly frustrated by an education system that often overlooked bright, capable kids who learned differently. Too many students were labeled as lazy, difficult, bored, or even a "lost cause" when they simply needed a different approach.

​

My passion for helping these students comes from my own experiences. I grew up as an English language learner with undiagnosed ADHD. While I was also identified for the Gifted and Talented program, I struggled in school and never received the support I needed to thrive. My experience shaped my belief that intelligence comes in many forms and that every child deserves to be understood, challenged, and celebrated.

​

Throughout my career, I studied a wide range of literacy and teaching practices, always searching for better ways to help students succeed. The approach I use at All the Write Colors combines research-based instruction with compassion. Instead of criticism, I give compliments. Instead of control, I advocate for choice. In doing so, I can ensure kids not only succeed in literacy but grow up with confidence and creativity - two of the most important skills I believe kids need to thrive when they grow up.

​

Today, my greatest joy is helping students discover their strengths, build confidence, and accomplish things they never thought possible. Whether a child is gifted, neurodivergent, struggling, or simply looking for a place where they feel understood, my goal is to help them find their voice and let their true colors shine.
